DESEMPEÑO EN FUNCIONES EJECUTIVAS Y SÍNTOMAS COMÓRBIDOS ASOCIADOS EN NIÑOS CON TRASTORNO POR DÉFICIT DE ATENCIÓN CON HIPERACTIVIDAD (TDAH) (Performance on Executive Functions and Comorbid Associated Symptoms in Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivit

Abstract

El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar el desempeno de las funciones ejecutivas en ninos con Trastorno por deficit de atencion con hiperactividad (TDAH) en relacion con sintomas comorbidos asociados, internalizantes y externalizantes. Se evaluaron 45 ninos de 8 a 14 anos con diagnostico de TDAH con pruebas de funciones ejecutivas. Los resultados evidenciaron que el grupo de ninos con sintomas internalizantes presentaron un desempeno inferior en organizacion y planificacion y en inhibicion motora, y el grupo de ninos con sintomas externalizantes un desempeno inferior en inhibicion motora, en comparacion con los ninos sin sintomas comorbidos, lo cual indica que las variables analizadas permiten colaborar con el proceso de evaluacion diagnostica del trastorno. Describir el desempeno ejecutivo del trastorno en funcion de diversas asociaciones comorbidas, posibilita un mejor conocimiento de la entidad y un adecuado diagnostico diferencial.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to analyze the performance of executive functions in children with Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder based on internalizing and externalizing associated comorbid symptoms. 45 children aged 8 to 14 with ADHD were assessed with executive function tests. The results showed that the group of children with internalizing symptoms has underperformed in relation to organization and planning and motor inhibition, and the group of children with externalizing symptoms underperformed motor inhibition compared to children without comorbid symptoms, which would indicate that the analyzed variables allow collaborating with the diagnostic evaluation process of the disorder. Be able to describe the executive function disorder performance in relation to various comorbid associations would enable a better understanding of the entity and an adequate differential diagnosis.
